474, Cheng's father-in-law's debriefing exercise (II)

"Zhijie, how do you feel?" Li Shimin asked.

And Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "It's all that guy, he actually doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he originally discussed it well, but he actually came to the real thing!" ”

And Cheng Biting Jin's exercise opponent took the initiative to come to Jingwen, saluted Jingwen with a military salute, and said, "Commander!" ”

Jingwen immediately knew that this should be one of his old subordinates, the person from the Snow Shame Army back then. But I don't know who he really is, and I don't seem to be familiar with him.

"Good! Virtuous son-in-law, it turns out that he is your old subordinate, but why doesn't he give me face? I'm your father-in-law! Cheng Yanjin said.

And the opponent said: "The commander told me that the army will never have exercises, only actual combat. We are all engaged in actual combat exercises. ”

Jingwen didn't expect that some people would take his words to inspire soldiers seriously. At that time, when the Snow Shame Army practiced tactics, they were all fake, and Jingwen was very angry. Jingwen asked everyone to really fight at that time, although it was true. Except for a few important points, there is no need to be polite to others, anyway, they injured Jingwen and paid for them to treat them out of his own pocket. As a result, the internal drills of the Snow Shame Army were all real, not false! They were not only back-to-back, but also unplanned. Moreover, the fighters are also real fights, except that the weapons are wooden, but they are really fighting. It is precisely because of this kind of training thinking that the combat effectiveness of the Snow Shame Army can be dramatically improved. Other armies don't have this kind of thinking, they all practice on the spot, and rarely get so close to fighting in real combat.

Li Shimin heard the division commander say: "Okay! Every qiē drill must be taken seriously, not false. Who are you, and what position did you have in the Snow Shame Army? ”

"Report to the emperor, I was originally the deputy head of the baggage regiment of the Snow Shame Army, my name is Lin Fei! When the Snow Shame Army was disbanded and reorganized, I came to the Zuo Shence Army as a division commander. Lin Fei said.

"Yes, very good!" Li Shimin said.

From this point of view. At that time, the Snow Shame Army was very good for education, and it was very good to be able to educate soldiers to always maintain a state of actual combat, so as to avoid the degeneration and corruption of soldiers and officers. This kind of thinking is much better than those veterans who enjoy life once the world is peaceful. Once the world is peaceful, many veterans begin to enjoy the benefits of many years of military exploits, but they all fall one by one. Li Shimin heard what Lin Fei, the division commander from the Snow Shame Army, said, and immediately knew that the Snow Shame Army was very good at educating soldiers and officers back then.

"Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish. Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. The ancestral religion teaches us the word. Looks like you really remembered! Li Shimin praised.

"Thank you for the emperor's praise, it was all taught well by the marshal back then!" Lin Fei said.

And Li Shimin came to Cheng Yanjin's place, and immediately said: "Zhijie! You actually memorized all the tactics of the Snow Shame Army back then, but you didn't make good use of them. You have a sword regiment, two cavalry regiments, three light and heavy infantry regiments, and a bow and crossbow regiment. But you haven't been able to put these soldiers to good use. At your level, you should mainly focus on the combined combat of each class, but you actually only use one class at a time. Once multiple classes are combined, you can't turn the corner of your mind. ”

Cheng Yanjin had nothing to say, and this time he got out of the basket. Because according to the old idea, one class was used at a time. It's rare for two classes to fight together. In other words, a general can only command one class of troops at a time, but now let Cheng Yanjin command multiple arms at a time, which makes Cheng Yanjin a little confused. It's a matter of thinking. How to use different troops, how to use them, and how to equip them. It's all different. It was difficult for these ancient generals to mentally command multiple arms of the army to fight at once. Now Cheng Yanjin still hasn't changed his mind, and he can let his soldiers fight together on the same battlefield with multiple arms. This is the lack of the ability of the ancient generals. And the generals trained by Jingwen are actually close to the generals who implemented modern warfare later, and can use multiple arms to combine operations.

"Father-in-law, just now you can ask the staff officer to help you deduce the enemy's battle! Just now you found out that the enemy has been prepared, then you should stop and not take the enemy lightly. You should ask your staff officer to help you deduce the battle plan and then choose the best plan to execute. But you don't seem to pay attention to those staff officers, and you took the initiative to give orders yourself! Jingwen said.

"Oh! I forgot! Cheng Yanjin said.

But Jingwen pointed it out and said, "It's not that you forgot, it's that you don't have the idea of a staff officer in your heart at all." In your eyes, those staff officers are all halfway monks, or even too young, and you think that it will be difficult for them to give you anything, so you don't take their opinions into account at all. You're still a veteran, you think you're very qualified, and those young people aren't your opponents at all, are they? ”

And Jingwen immediately turned his head and said to that Lin Fei: "Lin Fei, when you implemented this plan, you should have let the staff officer deduce it a long time ago, right?" ”

"Yes! I know that General Cheng Yanjin is afraid that he will underestimate the enemy, and I am afraid that he will not even let the staff officer deduce the means that General Cheng Yanjin may take. And I didn't expect that we had prepared a lot of plans, but none of them were useful. Lin Fei said.

"If you don't fight and count the temple first, you will win if you have more, and you will lose if you count less. Zhijie, you didn't lose unjustly! Li Shimin said again.

And Jingwen continued: "Just now, you also transformed this shield, right?" I didn't think of this method either! It seems that this is your invention! ”

"Marshal, I was originally in charge of the baggage troops, and I once thought about how I could make the baggage soldiers resist the enemy's cavalry attacks. Later, it occurred to me that if the shield and spear could be used as a temporary repulsion horse, it would be much more difficult for the enemy's cavalry to attack the baggage. And then now that I am a division commander, I thought about using this tactic on the battlefield, and it worked immediately. Lin Fei said.

"Good! Being able to take the initiative to ponder new equipment and new tactics, Jingwen is a good person! Li Shimin said.

And Li Shimin immediately said with emotion: "Zhijie, you still have to study hard!" I don't want you to leave me so soon! ”

Li Shimin's words have been said very harshly, that is, he doesn't want these veterans to leave him so early. This is not to say that these veterans will die prematurely, but we do not want these veterans to leave the army prematurely, lose their status prematurely, and retire prematurely.
